- SonarQube Version 8.9.9.56886
- It is set up on an EC2 instance
- Ability to administer the platform without having to use the local Admin account
- Removed and added the permissions back for our administer groups, added global permissions to administer groups, created a new group and provided it admin permissions, and tried to create names that match groups in SonarQube with AD Groups in Azure AD.
Hi,
Welcome to the community!
Make sure you upgrade to SonarQube v9.9 LTS soon, not only to benefit from our Best LTS Ever™, but because soon we will systematically ask users to upgrade when they ask questions about earlier versions of SonarQube, which are now considered unsupported. 
It sounds like you turned on group mapping and you’re not in the SAML groups you’ve granted global admin to.
HTH,
Ann
